Do You Feel Disliked?
If the world hates you, keep in mind it hated Jesus first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but Jesus has chosen you out of the world. Remember, no servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted Jesus, they will persecute you also.
(This is taken from parts of John 14:18-20)
Some live for comfort rather than the calling of God. Not everyone knows Him as “LORD.” They only want Him for what He can do to make their lives more comfortable. They know “OF” Him but they don’t come close into an intimate relationship in order to really KNOW Him.
God, search our hearts and see if there are any wicked ways in us. Lead us on the path that leads to salvation and to right living with You…no matter what the world may say or think.
We can only serve one master. May it be You.
